"A boat ride on the lake is truly
an enjoyable thing.
For "lovers" what place can
equal row on the lake.

good teams and fine rigs.
The Sedalia boys had cheap
hack ride on their return trip.
-Pertle Springs was known as a
camping ground fifty years ago.
W.D. Steele gained renown as an
expert swimmer, but as diver he vas
rather "hat."
CHS Hye, when it comes to
"rowing boat to Shore" is a COM
plete success.
That frog" raised by Chris Hye
caused quite an excitement, even If it
was only imaginary.
Frank Richardson made dive
in shallow water and came up minus
the hair ON his head.
1t would be hard to find two
men equal in executive ability and
courtesy to Proprietor Christopher
and Manager Stilwell.
The item as to the amount OF
fish in the lakes applies only to the
fourth or largest lake as the other
lakes have millions of small and large
fish in them.
Ladies visiting the Springs will
receive the necessary attention at the
hands of Mrs. Christopher who seems
to have the happy faculty OF making
all feel at home.
